Yep, Bubastis is another form of the cat goddess Bast. It's been a while since I cracked an egyptology book, but I think it's an older regional version.

Those types of names tend to become more staccato as you go further back in time. Something like Cybele (not egyptian of course) was originally "Ku Ba Ba".

So, it's possible that your new cats oldest orginal name would actually be "Bu Ba".

Which of course would be pronounced "Bubba". ;-}
